I Wanna Catch The Hedgehog!

Random doodle from a while ago, since I haven't properly drawn anything in a while. Sorry!!

What do you do when you have so many alternates of the same character, so to speak? You draw them chilling together of course!

It's a bit old but I couldn't keep the lack of IWBTG and its fangames going. Though, I'll admit I got a few ideas myself but I just can't get to them on programming.

[ryunumber]

i know ryu technically does appear in i wanna be the guy, but thats definitely not a canonical work. given the standard set of rules, what is the ryu number of The Kid (iwbtg)?

The Kid has a Ryu Number of 2/1.

(For clarification, see Owata.)

transcript

Kid scuttles down the road. He clambers across monkey bars, pops over a pit, and double jumps several times, narrowly avoiding the many cerulean spikes threatening to poke him. However, upon reading this sentence...

Text rule: GOSTAK DISTIM NOT DOSHES

...he instantly explodes, his guts spewing all over the place. Znzba: I told you it'd work! Salt: We need to start using cognitohazards more often!

I wanna BREAK EXPECTATIONS! - Issue #1: "The Plot"

Many years since the events of the 2008 classic; I wanna be the Guy, a relative of The Kid known as "The Dude" and some cyclops creature engage a plan to one up The Kid in order to become quote on quote, "Teh Coolerst".

A dumb idea for a webcomic series based on my older comic series, except this time based on IWBTG by Kayin. I might not make it into an actual series but it would be fun to imagine.

I figured out how to change class icons.

I changed all 9 classes into pokémon stuff

and The Kid from IWBTG

Don't let me cook.

Kid bless (reaction)

Hi, I made this reaction for the fangame I Wanna Start A Party which shows The Kid from IWBTG praying his luck will help him in the upcoming events.

Peck it, I'll try my hand at this one.

Thanatos Hadesgame vs I Wanna Be The Guy is surprisingly easy to imagine from both sides - Than's playstyle consists entirely of highly-telegraphed instant death attacks, and considering that The Kid has one hit point anyway, it'd play out like One Punch Man trying to defeat a mosquito. From the Hades side of things, Thanatos would have to find some way to trap The Kid in Death Sentences while avoiding taking too much chip damage, where Thanatos as an IWBTG boss is probably already playable and seems like it'd be easier than most.

The answer to “could [video game character A] beat [video game character B] in a fight?” is obviously that it depends on which one of them is the player character, but that doesn’t mean the question is without interest – like, you still have to figure out how that would work. And it’s not always symmetrical; I can pretty easily picture what Solid Snake would look like as a Super Mario boss fight, but Mario as a Metal Gear Solid boss fight? That’s where it gets interesting.

A bit of a quick sketch today after a few other things. Just wanted to post this

[ryunumber]

To my knowledge, the kid from IWBTG is the only character from (as in their first appearance) a fangame (i’d personally define “fangame” as a game that prominently features copyrighted works the dev doesnt own the rights to)

(Its 2, the kid -super meat boy-> steve -smash ultimate-> ryu btw)

So my question is, am I wrong about the kid being the only character like this? Is there another character who comes from a fangame (by my definition) but still has a ryu number?

Putting aside that my interpretation of "official"/"commercial" allows for other IWBTG-only characters like the titular Guy, Flumpty Bumpty may be along the lines of what you're thinking. Henry Stickmin if you squint, maybe.

From doing a bit of digging, you could probably make the case for Maybell from Thought of Dolls, whose first video game appearance is in the doujin game Touhou Unreal Mahjong, a commercial product on account of ZUN's famously permissive attitude toward fan work.
